Had a valve stem leak, driver's side, on July 1st with my fifth wheel. Pulled over to change tire on I75 N. 45 mins to install spare. No help from FDOT, Road Ranger or FHP Troopers who were running radar across from me on interstate! It was about 3:45 when I looked online for a tire repair ship that was open. I found out Boulevard Tire Center was only 6 miles north of me. I pulled in and saw the shop primarily tailored to big rig repairs. Went into the customer service area and explained that I was the one that called earlier and they had a bay available for me in about 5 minutes. I pulled into the bay. The rep explained that I needed my trailer tire valve stem replaced and to reinstall it back onto the fifth wheel. I got a brass valve stem, paid about $60 for everything. Was able to get out of there before 5pm closing time. Back on the road with no other headaches! Only thing I wish I had asked was for technician to reinstall my decorative hub cover when reinstalling the tire :(
Thank you gentleman for the response, rescue and refreshing air conditioned waiting area! read more
